Dao Jodh and his people lived in peace and contemplation on a world they called simply "Home," and the rest of the galaxy referred to as Jiran VII. Many generations ago, Dao's ancestors turned their back on the rest of the galaxy and focused their gaze inward, toward inner peace and contemplation.

Dao found the regimented and contemplative life expected of him boring. His mentors told him that he was gifted, that he had more potential for enlightenment than any before him. They encouraged him to focus on his studies and unlock the mysteries within him. Nothing could be more tedious but knowing no other life, Dao did his best.

One day, Dao's monastery was visited by strange people -- offworlders! Suddenly, a whole galaxy of possibility, of diversity and difference and experience, seemed available to Dao. He plagued the visiting scholar, Hethan Romund, with questions, and she indulged his curiosity with as many answers as she could manage. She spoke of the great cities of the Core Worlds, of the fallen Jedi Order, of the crystal canyons of Chandrila and the oceans of Dao, a thousand thousand things Dao had never dreamed of seeing.

Dao became convinced that the outsider's arrival was no accident--that they were calling him to his destiny. He asked the elders of his monastery for permission to leave. They denied him, and told him that his destiny was to be the Savior of his people. They insisted that he should put such notions out of his head, for the ordeals ahead of him would be great. Dao snuck out that night, and in the morning, followed the offworlders to their ship, stowing away aboard it.

Since then Dao has traveled the galaxy, always eager to find new worlds and people and see the stunning diversity the galaxy has to offer, while remaining true to the wisdom of his upbringing. If he sometimes feels guilty for abandoning his people, he doesn't mention it.

Standing six feed tall, this lean Zabrak wears blue robes. His shaved head and focused gaze speaking to resoluteness, but an impish flicker in his eyes speaking to curiosity and humor.
